Trump administration has now been in office for a year, and the Kremlin continues its war of annihilation against Ukraine with undiminished ferocity, is unwilling to negotiate, and is playing games with Trump.

It's official: Bulgaria is in the euro-zone.

This is not a protocol. It is a feeling.
In this sense, the euro is not just an economic solution...

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years”

Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should & should not apply to. Because none of us then has rights, just privileges that can be taken away by those in power
